The Amelia’s Ward Jets and Wismar Pistons have already recorded victories and tonight, the two teams would attempt to score yet another when action in the New Era Entertainment/Cell Smart Super-8 basketball tournament continues in Linden.
From 19:00 hours, Jets who eased to 52 – 49 point win over the Retrieve Raiders in their first game last week, will take on New Era 12; a team composed to make up the eight teams since Linden presently only has seven basketball clubs, while game two brings together Wismar Pistons and Victory Valley Royals.
Kevin ‘Two Feet’ Joseph, the diminutive point guard who always seem to be the one bailing the club out of a ditch, will lead the attack for the Amelia’s Ward based team, while he is expected to be supported by the Webster Brothers – Shane, Alister & Domain- along with former Junior National player Linden Fraser.
The make up of the New Era 12 was not fully known at press time, since the team’s roster was constantly being altered to be as competitive as any other in the tournament, but the side will be led former National player cum Sports Journalist Rawle Toney along with Alwyn Rodney.
The second game is the more interesting of the two since it features two teams with a long history of rivalry between them.
For Wismar Pistons, they have already chalked up a win, easily blowing away Block 22 Flames in the tournament’s first game, but their competition for tonight fell to the Kings in their first encounter.
Victory Valley Royals is known for their fierce combat on the basketball court and former national player Alwin ‘Shaq’ Wilson will start for the team in the front court which features Harold Adams. Sharp shooter Chris Williams, arguably Linden’s best marksman, leads the list of Royals’ players in the back court along with Julius Carter and former Junior National Point Guard Marlon Pollydore.
Meanwhile, matches will also be played on Saturday and Sunday with each night having a double header.
The tournament, which concludes on March 30, sees the winner going home with $200,000 and a new motorcycle for the player adjudged the Most Valuable (MVP) of the tournament.
